LONDON, Sept. 25.-Since the failure
of the Anglo-Egyptian convention, the
affair has been left in allegiance, but
now it is asserted that the English gov
ernment is arranging for convention
again which will include France in the
deliberations between themselves and
the Sultan. This will be somewhat of a
victory for France, and rather hui
initiating concession for England, al
France undoubtedly held the guild
ing rein on the Sultan's move
ments when Sir Henry Drummond
Wolf, England's. stately ambassador
was urging the Turk to sign the conyen-
tion last July. The proposed conven-
ton, if successful, will definitely deter

canal, the settlement of which, the OBJ

and make less disadvantageous terms

IN STATU QUO,
for this means, at least, possession of
the situation. On the other hand, the
convention can only result in the with
drawal of England's troops from Egypt,

have the least to do with it. England
long ago lost her ruling power in this
commercial enterprise, and no trouble
is feared on this score. But the true
motives for the settlement of the VeXed
Egyptian question will more truly lie
found in the fact that England's power
in Africa is dreaded by France, and the
latter forces the English government to
come to some definite basis in the
matter.
HAS TWO SCHEMES.
The weakness of the Rouviar ministry
continues to be the subject of the politi-
cal discussions of the present French
government enemies. How they will
save themselves from defeat and disso-
luton is the question asked. NJ. Rou-
vIer offers an answer to the question,
and one which may be satisfactory. at
least for time. He expects to main
tain the power of his ministry by
two popular movements; one the
reduction of the budget, always
an acceptable deed, and the other the
expulsion of the Orleanist princes, and
their ill. The announcement of this
latter movement is daily expected, and
from what can be learned from the
cabinets deliberations is not looked for
in vain.
BOUND TO DO IT.
A most deliberate and determined
case of suicide occurred last Sunday, on
the steamer Wisconsin, which left New
York for Liverpool on Sept. Is. A
first cabin passenger named Donworthy
jumped overheard when the steamer
was near land. He jumped so near
buoy that he almost touched it, but he
coolly turned, swan away and sank.
The steamer put about and cruised
around the spot for two hours, but was
unable to find him.
